EFA own email messages not delivered

[davide0522]

Hi everyone !

Installed EFA some hours ago and everything is working well !

The only problem is that EFA mail (the messages generated and delivered by EFA) do not reach the mail.

The following is an example
EFA sends an email to my "support@mydomain.com", sender "root@mydomain.com", advising restart needed after update to 3.0.1.2.
My isp rejects that mail becuse the sender "support@mydomain.com" trying to send the mail in its opinion is trying to relay
In fact I need to authenticate to send mail using my isp, and he rejects mail with own addresses coming from outside
(i mean: he reject sender support@mydomain.com if the mail is addressed to any@mydomain.com but the sender is coming from other mail server, hope to have described well).

So simply, as the spam/virus filter is working and no need to change anything, the only thing I need is how to say to EFA that when it needs to send an own email, he has to do that by using my-isp smtp server (not its own), using auth with an user and pass.

Can I do this ?

Yes, using postfix.

How can I try if working except than wait for a spam message and try to require delivery ?

You can use the telnet command to port 25 and craft a message
